Oru Leonard
Honourable Celia Osakwe- Hibbert from Orlu in IMO State, Nigeria has won another bid to serve as a Councillor in Penn ward, Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom. A Ward that is predominantly Conservative Party but the Labour Councillor seem to continually defy the trend in a positive way.
In a message sent to News Dot Africa this morning, Hon. Celia Osakwe-Hibbert who was the Debut Diaspora Focal person to the Imo State Governor His Excellency, Hope Uzodimma stated,
“The people of Penn have spoken, they have delivered us a clear VICTORY 🤗
“4 years ago I gained a seat for Labour by just 21 votes margin, today we increased our margin by 14 times more!!!
“It has been an absolutely tough competition on several levels but the support I’ve received from all angle is unbelievable (Special mention to my Agent Steve Russell)
“In the end, I will always be humbled by the fact that I’m just an ordinary Migrant who made Wolverhampton my home in 2008 and since then I’ve known nothing but selfless support from almost everyone, especially at critical moments.
“For this reason, I’ll seize this opportunity to renew my pledge to serve Penn and the Wider Wolverhampton Community to the best of my abilities and I will continue to learn, listen and improve myself…
“Thank you, thank and thank you!
(Still) Councillor Celia Hibbert”, she concluded.
